Fatal Road Crashes (NHTSA)

Every fatal motor-vehicle crash on U.S. public roads, from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System: when and where it happened, the road, what the first harmful event was, the light and weather, and how many people were killed. The data contains no names or addresses, only the crash itself. Years held here: 2020 to 2024. Copy built 2026-10-01 18:52 UTC.

How to use this page (tips and what you will not find)
  • Start with a state (name or 2-letter code), then narrow with county, city, road or year. Counties and cities are matched by the words you type, so try part of a name.
  • Road: the box matches the route as NHTSA records it, such as “I-95”, “US-31” or a street name.
  • Condition words match what happened and the conditions: for example “rollover”, “pedestrian”, “dark”, “rain”, “intersection”, “head-on”. Several words must all match.
  • The tick boxes narrow to crashes with a pedestrian involved, at a railroad crossing, involving a school bus, or in a work zone.
  • Reading a row: “Killed” is the number of deaths in that crash; people and vehicles are everyone and every vehicle involved. The location link opens satellite images of the spot when NHTSA recorded coordinates.
  • What is not here: crashes with no death, who was involved, names, and anything after the most recent year held. NHTSA files each case after its own review, so the newest year can be a little behind.
  • Related: a crash that was a train hitting a vehicle may also be in Railroad accidents, and larger investigations are in NTSB investigations.
